Description

Geldannahme- und -ausgabeautomatCash acceptance and dispensing machine
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Geldannahme- und -ausgabe¬ automat mit einer Banknotenannahmestelle, einer Bankno- tenprüf- und -erkennungseinrichtung, mindestens einem Zwischenspeicher zum Zwischenspeichern für angenommene Banknoten, einer Banknotenausgabestelle, einer Mehrzahl von in einem sicheren Gehäuse angeordneten Speicherein¬ heiten zur Aufbewahrung, Einspeicherung und/oder Abgabe von Banknoten und mit Transporteinrichtungen, welche die Annahmestelle, die Ausgabestelle, die Prüf- und Erken¬ nungseinrichtung sowie die Speichereinheiten miteinander verbinden.The invention relates to a cash receiving and dispensing machine with a bank note receiving point, a bank note checking and detection device, at least one buffer store for temporarily storing accepted bank notes, a bank note issuing point, and a plurality of storage units arranged in a secure housing for storage. Storage and / or delivery of banknotes and with transport devices which connect the receiving point, the issuing point, the testing and detection device and the storage units.
Ein Geldannahme- und -ausgabeautomat der vorstehend ge¬ nannten Art ist beispielsweise aus der EP-B-24 704 be¬ kannt. Bei diesem bekannten Automaten enthalten die Spei¬ chereinheiten Speicherkassetten, aus denen über eine er- ste Transportstrecke Banknoten zur Ausgabestelle trans¬ portiert und ausgegeben werden können. Angenommene Bank¬ noten durchlaufen ein Gerät zur Echtheitsprüfung und ein Gerät zur Bestimmung des Nennwertes und werden, die Echt¬ heit der Banknoten vorausgesetzt dann entsprechend ihrem Nennwert in einem der jeweiligen Speicherkassette zuge¬ ordneten Zwischenspeicher abgelegt. Aus dem Zwischenspei¬ cher können sie dann mit Hilfe einer Stopfeinrichtung in die Kassette geschoben werden, so daß sie zur Auszahlung wieder zur Verfügung stehen. Darüber hinaus ist ein Vor- ratsbehälter vorgesehen, in den die eingegebenen Bankno¬ ten unabhängig von ihrem Nennwert eingespeichert werden können und aus dem Banknoten auch wieder entnommen werden können. Dieser Speicherbehälter mit einem relativ großen Fassungsvermögen kann beliebig entleert oder neu geladen werden. Mit diesem Automaten kann zwar erreicht werden, daß die Verfügbarkeit des Automaten erhöht und die Zeit verlängert wird, bis die Speicherkassetten wieder nachge¬ laden oder entleert werden müssen, jedoch wird dies mit einem relativ hohen technischen Aufwand erzielt.A cash receiving and dispensing machine of the type mentioned above is known, for example, from EP-B-24 704. In this known machine, the storage units contain storage cassettes from which banknotes can be transported to the issuing point and output over a first transport route. Accepted banknotes pass through a device for checking the authenticity and a device for determining the nominal value and, provided the authenticity of the banknotes is stored, are then stored in a buffer store assigned to the respective storage cassette in accordance with their nominal value. They can then be pushed from the intermediate store into the cassette with the aid of a stuffing device, so that they are available for payment again. In addition, a storage container is provided in which the entered banknotes can be stored regardless of their nominal value and can also be removed from the banknotes can. This storage container with a relatively large capacity can be emptied or reloaded as required. With this machine it can be achieved that the availability of the machine is increased and the time is extended until the storage cartridges have to be reloaded or emptied, but this is achieved with a relatively high technical outlay.
Ein ähnlicher Automat ist in der EP-B-148 310 beschrie¬ ben.A similar automat is described in EP-B-148 310.
Aus der DE-A-30 42 566 ist ferner ein Bankautomat mit ei¬ nem Wickelspeicher bekannt, der in der Lage ist, eingege¬ bene Banknoten der Reihe nach einzuspeichern und in der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Bankautomaten der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, der eine hohe Spei- cherkapazitat und damit Verfügbarkeit hat, technisch ein¬ fach und übersichtlich aufgebaut ist und dessen Kapazität ohne großen technischen Aufwand veränderbar ist.From DE-A-30 42 566, an automatic teller machine with a winding memory is known which is able to store entered banknotes one after the other and the object of the invention is to provide an automatic teller machine of the type mentioned at the beginning , which has a high storage capacity and thus availability, is technically simple and clearly structured and whose capacity can be changed without great technical effort.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß mindestens eine der Speichereinheiten eine auswechselbare Speicherkassette für auszugebende Banknoten enthält, daß mindestens eine Speichereinheit einen Wickelspeicher zur Annahme, Speicherung und Ausgabe von Banknoten hat, daß die Speichereinheiten an eine gemeinsame erste Transport- bahn angeschlossen sind, die zusammen mit den Spei- chereinheiten in dem sicheren Gehäuse angeordnet ist und daß die Prüf- und Erkennungseinrichtung, der Zwischen¬ speicher und eine diese Einheiten mit der Annahme- und Ausgabestelle verbindende zweite Transportbahn in einem Kopfteil außerhalb des die Speichereinheit aufnehmenden sicheren Gehäuses angeordnet sind.This object is achieved in that at least one of the storage units contains an exchangeable storage cassette for banknotes to be issued, and that at least one storage unit has a winding memory for accepting, storing and issuing banknotes, that the storage units are connected to a common first transport path which is arranged together with the storage units in the secure housing and that the testing and detection device, the intermediate store and a second transport path connecting these units to the receiving and issuing point are arranged in a head part outside of the secure housing receiving the storage unit.
Angenommene Banknoten gelangen erst dann über die erste Transportbahn zu den Speichereinheiten, wenn sie auf ihre Echtheit hin überprüft wurden und wenn sichergestellt ist, daß die Transaktion erfolgreich abgeschlossen werden kann. Liegt dagegen irgendein Umstand vor, der eine er¬ folgreiche Beendigung der Transaktion nicht gewährlei¬ stet, können die angenommenen Banknoten rasch wieder an den Kunden zurückgegeben werden, ohne daß die in dem si¬ cheren Gehäuse untergebrachten Einheiten überhaupt be¬ rührt werden. Ebenso berühren bauliche Änderungen in dem Kopfteil einerseits oder an den Speichereinheiten in dem sicheren Gehäuse andererseits in keiner Weise die jeweils andere Einheit. Durch die Verwendung von Wickelspeichern können ohne großen technischen Aufwand angenommene Bank¬ noten wieder ausgegeben werden, so daß der Banknotenvor¬ rat in den Speicherkassetten geschont wird. Dadurch wird die Zeit zwischen zwei Nachladevorgängen und damit die Verfügbarkeit des Bankautomaten verlängert. Die gemein¬ same Transportbahn für alle Speichereinheiten ermöglicht auf einfache Weise den Anschluß weiterer Speichereinhei¬ ten und verkürzt die Transaktionszeiten.Accepted banknotes only reach the storage units via the first transport path when they have been checked for authenticity and if they have been secured is that the transaction can be completed successfully. If, on the other hand, there is any circumstance that does not guarantee successful completion of the transaction, the accepted banknotes can be quickly returned to the customer without the units housed in the secure housing being touched at all. Likewise, structural changes in the head part on the one hand or on the storage units in the secure housing on the other hand in no way affect the other unit. By using winding memories, accepted banknotes can be reissued without any great technical effort, so that the banknote supply in the storage cassettes is protected. This extends the time between two reloading processes and thus the availability of the ATM. The common transport path for all storage units enables the connection of further storage units in a simple manner and shortens the transaction times.
Der konstruktive und herstellungstechnische Aufwand für unterschiedlich ausgestattete und den Bedürfnissen der Benutzer angepaßte Banknotenautomaten kann durch eine mo- dulare Gestaltung des Automaten verbessert werden, indem die zweite Transportbahn mit der Prüf- und Erkennungsein¬ richtung und den Zwischenspeichern zu einer Prüfeinheit zusammengefaßt sind, die Annahmestelle und die Ausgabe¬ stelle zusammen mit einer sie verbindenden dritten Trans¬ portbahn zu einer Eingabe/Ausgabeeinheit zusammengefaßt sind und die drei Transportbahnen über eine schaltbare Umlenkstelle wechselseitig miteinander verbindbar sind.The constructional and manufacturing outlay for differently equipped banknote machines which are adapted to the needs of the users can be improved by modularly designing the machine, in that the second transport path with the testing and recognition device and the intermediate stores are combined to form a testing unit, the acceptance point and the output point together with a third transport path connecting them are combined to form an input / output unit and the three transport paths can be mutually connected via a switchable deflection point.
Für angenommene Banknoten, die zwar als echt erkannt wur¬ den, die jedoch wegen ihres Nennwertes beispielsweise nicht wieder zur Ausgabe bestimmt sind, kann in dem gesi¬ cherten Gehäuse zusätzlich ein an die erste Transportbahn angeschlossener Sammelspeicher vorgesehen sein. Vorzugsweise sind die Wickelspeichereinheiten über eine vierte Transportbahn direkt mit einer von der ersten Ein¬ gabe/Ausgabeeinheit getrennten zweiten Einga¬ be/Ausgabeeinheit verbunden. Diese kann beispielsweise auf einer nur für die Bankangestellten zugänglichen Seite des Bankautomaten angeordnet sein und ermöglicht es, die Wickelspeicher vollständig zu entladen oder auch mit ei¬ nem gewissen Vorrat von Banknoten neu zu laden.For accepted banknotes which have been recognized as genuine, but which, due to their denomination, for example, are not intended to be issued again, a collective store connected to the first transport path can additionally be provided in the secured housing. The winding storage units are preferably connected via a fourth transport path directly to a second input / output unit separate from the first input / output unit. This can be arranged, for example, on a side of the automated teller machine that is only accessible to bank employees and makes it possible to completely unload the winding store or to reload it with a certain supply of banknotes.
Für das rasche Zwischenspeichern und Ausgeben der ange- nommenen Banknoten in bzw. aus dem Zwischenspeicher ist es zweckmäßig, wenn dieser als Wickelspeicher ausgebildet ist.For the rapid buffering and outputting of the accepted banknotes into or out of the buffer store, it is expedient if it is designed as a winding store.
Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung, welche in Verbindung mit den beigefügten Zeichnungen die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles erläutert. Es zeigen:Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, which in connection with the accompanying drawings explains the invention using an exemplary embodiment. Show it:
Figur 1 einen schematischen Vertikalschnitt durch einen erfindungsgemäßen Bankautomaten und1 shows a schematic vertical section through an automated teller machine according to the invention and
Figur 2 eine vergrößerte Darstellung der in dem Kopf- teil des Bankautomaten angeordneten Einga¬ be/Ausgabeeinheit und Prüfeinheit .FIG. 2 shows an enlarged illustration of the input / output unit and test unit arranged in the head part of the automated teller machine.
Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Bankautomat umfaßt ein äuße¬ res Gehäuse 10 mit einem Kopfteil 12 und einem Sockelteil 14, der ein inneres sicheres Gehäuse oder einen Tresor 16 einschließt. Das Kopfteil 12 hat eine Benutzerfläche 18 mit einer Eingabeöffnung 20 und einer Ausgabeöffnung 22. Innerhalb des Kopfteiles sind oberhalb des Tresores 16 eine Eingabe/Ausgabeeinheit 24, eine Prüfeinheit 26 und eine Umlenkeinheit 28 angeordnet, die anhand der Figur 2 noch näher erläutert werden.The automated teller machine shown in FIG. 1 comprises an outer housing 10 with a head part 12 and a base part 14, which includes an inner, secure housing or a safe 16. The head part 12 has a user surface 18 with an input opening 20 and an output opening 22. An input / output unit 24, a test unit 26 and a deflection unit 28 are arranged inside the head part above the safe 16, which are explained in more detail with reference to FIG.
In dem Tresor 16 sind zwei Kassettenspeichereinheitn 30, 32 vorgesehen, die in an sich bekannter Weise austauscht- bare Speicherkassetten 31, 33 und Vereinzelungsvorrich¬ tungen zum Entnehmen von gespeicherten Banknoten umfas¬ sen. Ferner sind in dem Tresor zwei Wickelspeichereinhei¬ ten 34 und 36 angeordnet, die an sich bekannt sind und dazu dienen, einlaufende Banknoten zu speichern und bei Bedarf in der entgegengesetzten Reihenfolge wieder abzu¬ geben. Es versteht sich, daß die Zahl der Kassettenspei- chereinheiten und der Wickelspeichereinheiten im Rahmen des vorhandenen Raumvolumens beliebig sein kann. Neben den beschriebenen Speichereinheiten ist noch ein Sam- melspeicher 38 für angenommene und als echt befundene Banknoten vorgesehen, die aber aus bestimmten Gründen nicht wieder zur Auszahlung bestimmt sind. Die Speicher 30 bis 38 sind an eine allen gemeinsame erste vertikale Transportbahn 40 angeschlossen, welche Banknoten in bei¬ den Richtungen befördern kann und über geeignete Weichen mit der jeweiligen Speichereinheit verbunden ist.In the safe 16, two cassette storage units 30, 32 are provided which are exchanged in a manner known per se. bare memory cassettes 31, 33 and separating devices for removing stored banknotes. Furthermore, two winding storage units 34 and 36 are arranged in the safe, which are known per se and serve to store incoming banknotes and to release them in the opposite order if necessary. It goes without saying that the number of cassette storage units and the winding storage units can be as desired within the scope of the available space. In addition to the storage units described, a collective storage 38 is also provided for banknotes that have been accepted and found to be genuine, but which, for certain reasons, are not intended for payment again. The stores 30 to 38 are connected to a common first vertical transport track 40, which can transport banknotes in both directions and is connected to the respective storage unit by suitable switches.
Schließlich ist oberhalb des Sammelspeichers 38 noch ein Aufnahmebehälter 42 für zurückgewiesene und zurückgezoge- ne Banknoten vorgesehen, der mit der Ausgabestelle in Verbindung steht.Finally, a receptacle 42 for rejected and withdrawn banknotes is provided above the collecting store 38 and is connected to the issuing point.
Die Eingabe/Ausgabeeinheit 24 umfaßt eine Annahmestelle mit einem Eingabefach 44, in das der Kunde ein Banknoten¬ bündel 46 einlegen kann, und mit einer Vereinzelungsein- richtung 48, welche die eingelegten Banknoten vereinzelt und einer Transportbahn 50 der Eingabe/Ausgabeeinheit zu¬ führt. Die Einheit 24 umfaßt ferner eine Ausgabestelle mit einem Ausgabefach 52 in dem über ein Schuppenrad 54 auszugebende Banknoten zu einem Bündel 56 gesammelt wer- den, wobei die Banknoten über einen zweiten Arm der Transportbahn 50 zugeführt werden. Eine Reihe von nicht näher dargestellten Lichtschranken überwacht innerhalb der Eingabe/Ausgabeeinheit 24 das Vorhandensein der Bank¬ noten in dem Eingabefach 44 und/oder dem Ausgabefach 52, das Vereinzeln der Banknoten und ihren Lauf über die Transportbahn 50.The input / output unit 24 comprises an acceptance point with an input compartment 44 into which the customer can insert a bundle of banknotes 46, and with a separating device 48 which separates the inserted banknotes and feeds a transport path 50 to the input / output unit. The unit 24 further comprises an output point with an output compartment 52 in which banknotes to be output via a scale wheel 54 are collected into a bundle 56, the banknotes being fed to the transport path 50 via a second arm. A number of light barriers, not shown in more detail, monitors the presence of the bank notes in the input compartment 44 and / or the output compartment 52 within the input / output unit 24, the separation of the banknotes and their passage over the transport track 50.
Die Prüfeinheit 26 umfaßt ein Echtheitsprüfgerät 58 und einen als Wickelspeicher ausgebildeten Zwischenspeicher 60. Die von einem Kunden eingegebenen Banknoten werden in dem Prüfgerät 58 auf Echtheit überprüft und in dem Zwi¬ schenspeicher 60 zwischengespeichert, bis sämtliche Bank¬ noten des Bündels geprüft worden sind. Anschließend wer¬ den die Banknoten über eine das Prüfgerät mit dem Zwi- schenspeicher 60 verbindende dritte Transportbahn 62 der Prüfeinheit 26 wieder ausgegeben.The checking unit 26 comprises an authenticity checking device 58 and an intermediate storage 60 designed as a winding store. The bank notes entered by a customer are checked for authenticity in the checking device 58 and temporarily stored in the intermediate storage 60 until all the bank notes of the bundle have been checked. The banknotes are then output again via a third transport path 62 of the test unit 26, which connects the test device to the intermediate storage 60.
Die Transportbahn 40, welche in den Tresor 16 hinein bzw. aus ihm herausführt, die Transportbahn 50 der Ein¬ gabe/Ausgabeeinheit 24 und die Transportbahn 62 der Prü- feinheit 26 werden funktional durch eine Umlenkeinheit 28 miteinander verbunden. Die Umlenkeinheit 28 verbindet durch über Hubmagnete 64 geschaltete nicht dargestellte Weichen die einzelnen Transportbahnen so miteinander, daß die Banknoten in Abhängigkeit entsprechender Steuersigna- le in die durch die Pfeile bezeichneten Richtungen abge¬ lenkt werden. So werden eingegebene Banknoten entweder der Prüfeinheit 26 zugeführt oder bei einem schon vorher festgestellten Mangel unmittelbar zur Ausgabestelle zu¬ rückgeleitet. Geprüfte Banknoten werden von der Prüfein- heit 26 entweder zur Transportbahn 40 und damit dem Tre¬ sor 16 geschaltet oder ebenfalls der Ausgabestelle zuge¬ führt. Aus dem Tresor entnommene Banknoten werden direkt zur Ausgabestelle geschaltet.The transport path 40, which leads into or out of the safe 16, the transport path 50 of the input / output unit 24 and the transport path 62 of the test unit 26 are functionally connected to one another by a deflection unit 28. The deflection unit 28 connects the individual transport tracks to one another by way of switches, not shown, connected via lifting magnets 64 such that the banknotes are deflected in the directions indicated by the arrows as a function of corresponding control signals. Entered banknotes are thus either fed to the checking unit 26 or, in the case of a defect which has already been determined, are returned directly to the issuing point. Checked banknotes are either switched by the checking unit 26 to the transport track 40 and thus to the door 16 or are likewise fed to the issuing point. Banknotes removed from the safe are sent directly to the issuing office.
Die Wickelspeicher 34 und 36 innerhalb des Tresors sind bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung noch über eine vierte Transportbahn 66 mit einem an der Rück¬ seite des Gehäuses 10 gelegenen weiteren Ausgabefach 68 verbunden, das nur für Angestellte der Banken zugänglich ist. Über diese weitere Eingabe/Ausgabeeinheit 68 können die Wickelspeicher bei Bedarf geladen oder entladen wer¬ den so daß sie wieder aufnahmefähig für einzugebende Banknoten sind.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the winding storage devices 34 and 36 within the safe are connected via a fourth transport track 66 to a further output compartment 68 located on the rear side of the housing 10, which is only accessible to bank employees. Via this further input / output unit 68 can the winding stores are loaded or unloaded if necessary so that they are again receptive to banknotes to be entered.
Die Eingabe/Ausgabeeinheit 68 kann auch im Zugriffsbe- reich eines Kassiererplatzes liegen. In diesem Fall ist es zweckmäßig, der vierten Transportbahn 66 auch Bankno¬ ten aus den Speichereinheiten 30, 32 zuzuführen. The input / output unit 68 can also be in the access area of a cashier's place. In this case, it is expedient to also feed banknotes from the storage units 30, 32 to the fourth transport path 66.
